On the other hand, this same Raid' contended, that in monarchies therecould be no great characters; and that good Governments were to be found in America only. The entire of Europe la boured under the grossest slavery, and that. it. Inc for Russia to set the example of emancipation. He also said, that he did not to a certainty know the' resolution of the Society of the ,South , --of putting the Emperor to death and his whole family. That he consideted the Govern ment of the United States of America as superior to all others; but that his intention was to preserve, at least, for a time, the : form of monarchy in Russia, which he is ould have divided into provinces, like the States of the Ame rican Federation. And, to the following question- 7 " What is to be done if the Emperor should not accept oar conditions ?" he answered--" Can we not send him into exile ?" When this opinion was agreed to by soma' other leaders, he was appointed to snake preparations for the fleet of Cronstadt being used for the purpose of the transportation of the Emperor: The Emperor's death only served- to'sliow the impo tency of the conspirators. As soon as this event was know», and that- the oath of fidelity was taken to the Grand Duke Cowantine, they, no. longer concealed in their meeting the deep disappointment they felt. On this occasion Batenkoff said- 7 " Such an opportunity as that which has now escaped us will not offer again these fifty years. Had there been good heads in the Council of State,.Russia would ere this have taken the oath of fide lity to a new Emperor, and to new laws; now sll is irre coverably lost." • Apprehensions for the dissolution of tho society were beginning to be entertained, when news arrived that Constantine persisted in refusing to accept the crown, and confirmed the hopes of the conspirators. They flattered themselves that they should be able to per suade the army, and the people, that the Grand Duke had not abdicated, and thus deceive them into an insur rection, by which the whole Government and established order of things would be overturned. Thus the factious might profit by the °erasion — First. In : establishing a Provisional Government, tti hich should issue orders into the provinces for the for mation of Chambers, whose duty it would be to elect Deputies.

" The Baron did not long remain in his apparent torpor, but, on his recovery, he seemed like one awakened from a dream; he looked round with fear and surprise; and, fixing h is eyes again on the tomb, lie was well nigh relapsing, though nothing there was seen, save the marble image, and the torch-lights around it. The King spoke graciously to him, and, when the baron heard his voice, he made most humble gesture before' his Highness, and craved his pardon for the disturbance he had created.

Public curiosity has on several accounts been much excited by the announcement of this work the long period during which Mrs. R.'s muse has been silent, added to the various reports which were afloat respecting her condition, the close retirement in which she lived, and her supposed death, (which did not in reality take place till cir cumstances tending t o exc i te no common degr ee of interest on the announcement of a posthumous pro duction of her pen ; and more especially when that production is accompanied by a copious biographical preface. We are happy to learn that the report of this lady having been afflicted with mental alienation under the influence of the terrors which her own ima gination had created, is totally unfounded. On the contrary, it seems that her own mind was the only one over which the terrific images she conjured up had no influence. "'You must ask pardon of this lady,' said the King, showing to him the bride, who was now nearly reviving ; for it is she only who has suffered.' . " Then, the young Bamn seemed, for the first time, to know fully what had happened, and he hung over her with sadness and anxiety ; yet divers of the courtiers thought he felt. more for him, self than for her, and . of this number were those who trivial him the new honour he had attained.

" When the bride had recovered, her lady-mother would have withdrawn 'her from the chapel, and she , herself wished to go away from the great observance that had been drawn towards her; but the Baron, addressing himself to the King, besought hi s Highness to interfere on his behalf, and not to suffer that the vain impulse of a momentary and wandering feeling, which hail, at times, eomeorer him, even from his:childhood, should be taken in so serious a part. The Baron having knelt to this.:King, -as he said this (and once before he did the same, but I did not note it on these leaves) the Archbishop could ill conceal his just displea sure, that the Baron should do reverence in that place to any hu man being; and the King said the Archbishop was right ; and, making the Baron instantly rise, asked what had caned his dismay, and whom he had seen, that should have caused it.'

In the event, however, of the Board not accepting any of the Tenders which they may receive on the 12th of September, (in pursuance of another AdVertisement of this date), for the supply of Salt Meat at Gibraltar and the West India Islands atul Colo nies, the further quantities of 4,800 Tierces of Beef, and 4,500 Tierces of Pork, will be required for delivery at Deptford, and in that case may be tendered for on the 26th, with the quantities above-mentioned.

" Then the Baron answered, that he had seen one like unto his dead father ; but be now knew it to have been only an apparition, suggested in his own mind; and he repeated, that to such like de- lusions he had been subject from his young-hood. " This was not said so lowly, as that the Lady Huntingdon beard it not ; and she thought that such a state of mind was a suf. ficient reason for withholding her daughter from the marriage ; and the Earl, her father, taking up the objection, had begun to to repeat it,—but he was soon silenced, for hie Highness said, pr• remptorily, that, because of consent duly given, he had resolved to be present at the marriage, with his court ; and it Were not to be allowed that a momentary infirmity of one of the parties, who in-, stantly afterwards desired to have the ceremony renewed, should be sufficient for rendering all the preparations, which had been so great and so public, bootless. And his Highness commanded pro gress forthwith." The magnificent banquet is diversified with sundry pageants ; m the midst of which the same unbidden guest terrifies both the Baron and the King. Some of the pageants appear of an unearthly character,' and seem to point at the.historyof the murder. In short, horror increases upon horror, till at length, by means of this supernatural visitant, ample and .fearful justice is done. The description of all these thickening terrors is admirably worked up, and they are left without any explanation from natural causes. London : Printed for W. Similkin and R. Marshall, Stationers' Ball -court, Ludgate -street. The introduction to the tale discusses the locality of Shakespeare's Ardenne, and identifies it with a tract of forest country in Warwickshire, in former ages, a notorious resort for all descriptions of fugitives. In this domain is situated the then Royal castle of' Kenil worth, and here is the scene of Henry the Third's festivities. This Day was published, Three Vols.-post Bvo. 1/. 1 Is.

London : Printed for W. Simpkin and R. Marshall, Sta tioner'-hall-court, Ludgate -street. To describe Royal festivities at Kenilworth is at the present day a somewhat bold undertaking. The whole account of the approach of the royal train, the prepa rations, the devices, the mummeries, the banquettings, the pageants, and the chivalry, though most minutely elaborate, and painted in most gorgeous colours, are not to be compared with those of Elizabeth and Lei cester.

On a subsequent occasion he explains his case to relate to the murder of a knight, his kinsman ; and fancies he recognizes the assassin in the young baron. The King resolves to have the matter investigated ; mean while the complainant is confined in Citesar's tower. The young Court favourite, in the midst of all his splendour, is agitated and gloomy. On the morrow are to be solemnized his gorgeous nuptials with the fair Lady Barbara.—Here the mystery begins to work ; we will extract the scene in the Chapel " I hold it not meet to speak here, with greater pouitrayment, of the more solemn ceremonies in the chapel itself, only that, 'when the Archbishop came to the lowest step, be stayed there some time, with bended bead in silence, the bishops having passed to their places ; and then the minstrels and the children of the chapel began an anthem, which ended not till the Archbishop, the King, the bride and bridegroom, had advanced to their pro per places, and, the bride's veil having been thrown back, the Archbishop, on the special command of the King, began to read what is appointed. " There was that day in the chapel, among the crowd, by some unknoirn hap, a stranger, who seemed to observe, with more attention than the greater part, all that passed, vet did he never ask a question, nor speak to any one there. He was seen in different parts, although the press of people was so great, it was difficult for any one to change his station. At last,. having reached the sepulchre of Geoffrey de Clinton, he leaned Among the tomb-lights there, and moved no more. There was in his countenance a touching solemnity, while he watched the progress of the ceremony, which was noticed by many present; for, in his whole demeanour there was something, though it was diffi cult to explain what, that drew away the attention of many from the sight they came to witness, and that was pity, for it was such a sight as is seldom seen. a King Henry, of goodly stature, and of comely countenance, MIN in a robe of dark blue velvet ; and with the dignity of his carriage there was mixed an air of good humour, that made all men fhel at ease in his presence. [lie son, Prince Edward, it was remarked, had a sterner look than had his father. Many, who knew, that the King's heart was good, in many respects, lamented his weaknesses, and that his passions too often carried him away. He now appeared in his state and well able to enjoy it ; but the Archbishop, with his firm, composed, and solemn countenance and lofty figure, made all other dignity appear u nothing. He was like sortie oak of our forest, whose grey top has braved the storms of centuries, and whose mighty branches still afford shelter to the storm-beset traveller, and to the plants and flowers at bis feet. The Lady Barbara was the lily there ; the Baron de Illondeville, a young beech, growing at hand, with with all its glossy branches and light foliage, spreading forth in graceful beauty. What pity, if the lightning should sere those green leavea, and destroy its promise! o When the Archbishop asked, who gave away the maiden, hi s Highness advancing, graciously delivered her to the Baron, w h o bending one knee, received her - of the King; but, as h e r ose u p, his countenance showed not joy, or love--it s h owe d consterna tion. His eyes had glanced on the tomb of Geoffrey de Clinton, and were now rivetted, where the stranger stood. The stranger, as he still leaned amidst the torches there, seemed, however, un moved by the dismayed looks of the bridegroom ; his gloomy sternness was unshaken. But the emotion of the Baron increased: his looks became deadly pale, and he could no longer repeat the words that were necessary in the ceremony.

The following is the substance Pestel, who has often been mentioned in this Report, pretended that the Emperor Alexander wished a Reform, and in eon ' sequence made many proselytes. In 182 t) violent discus sions took place as to the must proper mode of . Reform. Pestel proposed that a dictator should be appointed ou occasions of great emergency. This, •as • well us the pro. Jowl to appoint a Triumvirate was rejected, and the fur ther discussion on the subject was deferred till the Society would assemble at Moscow for the purpose of ascertaining the real object of the Society. Pests! did not attend at that meeting, but some of his associates (lid, and pro:, posed that the Society should be divided into three classes. We cannot translate them, and therefore give' them in the original—incomes, agens, and novices.— Shortly afterwards the Society was dissolved, bemuse it WWI discovered that a great many of the .members Were not enthusiastic in the cause. A new Society was formed. This likewise was soon dissolved;- and it was not till the year 1822 that a permanent Society was established,- About a year after this Prince Troubetzkoy was sent to Kieft; for the purpose of influencing the troops, and watching the motions of Pestel. He soon discovered that he was a Bonaparte, and not 'Washington. Two Societies were formed, one called the Society of the -South and the other of the North. They differed much in their principles, but their great object was to obtain reform by main force, and- - to induce • the troops to revolt. • Pestel, in consequence, courted the troops. In the month of January. 1823, a' meeting of the chief conspirators took place at Kieft when the question to be discussed was, what shall be done with the Imperial Family ? " Put them to death," said Pestel. This question gave rise to a loug discussion. It was thought that it was too important to be decided in a small assembly, and, consequently, was put off till a further meeting, when it was unanimously resolved that the Royal Family should be exterminated, and that the Grand Duke Constantine, in particular, should be . put to death. Bestoujelt Roumine comm ence d thi s society, the object of which was to separate Poland from Russia. A short time before the meeting of 'theie societies Moravieff and Bestoujeff Roumine attempted to excite the troops to revolt, :which were encamped in the environs of Bobruisk, where. the Emperor was expected. The plan watt to seize him, the Grand Duke Nicholas, and to march to AOSCOw ; but, having discovered that only two officers in that army were favourable to them, they put off the execution of the plan till some future period. In •the month of April, 1824, an attempt still more criminal was resolved on. The plan was to murder the Emperor when he was reviewing the troops at Belai-Tserkoff. Some officers, in the dress of soldiers, were to penetrate into his . tent and put him to death. - But, fortunately, the review did •not take place, and his life was saved..

After this they intended proceeding to the formation of the Provincial Chambers, which were to have been local Legislatures —to the changing of the military colo nies into national guards—to placing the citadel of St. Petersburgh in the hands of the Municipality—that citadel which BatenkofT on this occasion, called the " Palladium of Russian Liberty," and where also was to be placed the Municipal Council and the ' civic guard—and to the proclamation of the independence of the Universities of' Moscow, Dorpat :and Willie. According to another plan disclosed by Batenkoff, the conspirators were to divide into two parties, one of which was to proclaim the Grand Duke Constantine, and the other your Majesty. And if the balanCe inclined in favour of the former, 'then your Majesty should either consent to the change of the. public institutions, end the establishment of a Proviional Government, dr you should decline ascending the Throne, and then the conspirators were to proclaim the Grand Duke Alexander your heir. Besides this, BatenkoiT . presumed that at the moment of the revolutionary explosion your Majesty's life would be attempted : and said, to Kahovsky, embracing him, Dear friend, yon are alone in • this world, you might to sacrifice yourself for the society ; you should assatairiatt, the Emperor." And at the same time the other conspira tors took him in their arms,. and he promised to obey. His intention was to enter the Palace in the dress of one of the officers of the grenadiers, or to wait on one of the stairs till your Majesty was passing. But he at length found that the project w as impraeticable, and the others, too, were satisfied that it was so. Some of them advised that they should merely confine themselves to the seizing of you Majesty and all the au gust family. This question gave rise to a discussion, which Beilieff terminated by observing that circum stances should direct what %V aS best to be done." It was well known that your Majesty's manifesto on ascending the throne was to appear on the 14th of Deeember. This day, therefore, was to be the signal to the conspirators; it was resolved that they should manifest the revolt of the soldiers by making them express doubts of the Grand Dulte . Constantine's renunciation of his title to the Crown; that they would assemble all the troops gained over before the palace, and then wait the measures of Government. It was also supposed that your Majesty, too, would ros nounce your right to sovereignty, or enter into negociations with the disatfeeted, who would then demand—lst, that deputies should be convoked for all the governments ; 2d, that a manifesto should be published announcing that these raid deputies were to vote newly-organised laws ; 3d, that in the mean time, a Provisional Government should be established, to which the deputies of Poland were to be stunmoned, in order to adopt the necesary means for pre serving the unity of the state. If your Majesty should have taken the resolution of calling the Grand Duke Con stantine to St. Petersbnrgh, then the conspirators were to demand a cantonment ottteide the city, to eneamp there during the winter, end wait for his Imperial Highness; but they were by all means to insist on the convocation of the Deputies, either to supplicate the Grand Duke to ac cept of the crown, or to take the oath of fidelity to your Majesty. in fine, if the Grand Duke cam e t o St. Peters.- burgh, they hoped to be able to persuade him that the insurrection was the effect of their devotedness to his per son. This was the plan agreed upon by the conspirators, according to the evidence of Prince Troubetskoi ; but admitting the depositions of other conspirators, there must be great modifications allowed. This was to have been put into execution on the 14th of December, and on the preceding day, the 13th, not the least doubt was entertained of its success. Baron de Steinbell had already begun to draw up a Manifesto, declaring that the two Grand Dukes having yielded to the glorious plan of the parents of the country, it was for that country to name a Sovereign, that the Senate de-creed a general con vocation of the Deputies of the Empire, and a provisional Government in the interval. patience was manifested However the nearer tile time approached the more limy the more irresolution, remorse, and apprehent" bY on the part of the conspirstete. the Chief.
